Wow! A rowdy week at the Court of Appeals. A bunch of significant cases. The issues in the Opinions published on July 11 range from Friend of the Court procedure flaws to horse doping, from de facto custody to secret hearings and ex-parte communications. For...
The June 14 Round Up has a lot of variety in it and several notable cases. It also includes a treat in the form of a successful appeal by the Helmers + Associates team! Other highlights include some great legal writing as well as some...
